Full Control, Zero Risk: The LANKON-094 Relay Module
Expand the capabilities of your Tinycontrol LAN or GSM Controller and switch powerful consumers with absolute safety. The LANKON-094 module serves as a highly secure bridge within your Network between sensitive control electronics and the world of high voltages. The most important component for this is optical isolation. Each of the four channels is equipped with an optocoupler that transmits control signals via light. This creates galvanic isolation, preventing interference pulses or voltage spikes from the 230V mains from damaging your controller. So you can confidently switch lamps, motors, or heaters without having to worry about your control unit.
Built for Eternity: Industrial Quality in Detail
At the heart of the LANKON-094 are four RELPOL RM50 miniature relays – components known for their extreme reliability. The contacts are made of a silver-tin-oxide alloy (AgSnO2), which is particularly resistant to contact welding under high loads. A special design also ensures that metal oxides are removed with each switching operation, significantly increasing lifespan. This module is not a toy, but a reliable 10A DIN rail relay module, designed for continuous and demanding use, fitting perfectly into various Mounting Systems.
Professional Integration for Your Smart Home Project
Order is half the battle – this is especially true for electrical installations. The LANKON-094 is prepared for control cabinet mounting and can be easily attached to a standard DIN rail. This enables a clean, structured, and secure installation, ideal for 19-Inch Racks and Enclosures. Four status LEDs, one for each relay, provide visual feedback on the current switching status at all times. This saves valuable time during commissioning and troubleshooting. With this module, your project becomes not only smarter but also more professional.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can the Tinycontrol LANKON-094 module be directly controlled with a Raspberry Pi or Arduino?
Although the relays have a 5V coil, direct control is not intended. The module is designed for connection to the specific outputs of a Tinycontrol LAN/GSM Controller, including the appropriate connection cable. The optical isolation also requires defined control within your Network.
What types of loads can be switched with the LANKON-094?
The module, with its 10A/240V AC relays, can switch a variety of devices, including lighting, small motors, pumps, heaters, or act as a switch for other electrical systems. The AgSnO2 contacts are well-suited for ohmic and slightly inductive loads.
Is the DIN rail housing included?
The board itself is mounted on a holder, which can optionally be attached to a DIN rail. Most suppliers include this holder as standard, making it a versatile part of your Mounting Systems and Enclosures.
What does 'optical isolation' mean and why is it important?
Optical isolation (via optocouplers) means that the control signal from the controller to the relay is transmitted via light. There is no electrical connection. This prevents dangerous voltage spikes or disturbances from the switched circuit (e.g., 230V) from returning to the sensitive controller and damaging it, offering a form of Lightning Protection.
Does the relay module require its own Power Supply?
No, the 5V voltage for controlling the relay coils is supplied directly by the Tinycontrol LAN/GSM Controller via the included connection cable. The load to be switched (e.g., 230V) is connected separately to the module's screw terminals, simplifying your Power Supplies setup.
Is the module compatible with the Tinycontrol LAN Controller V2?
No, the LANKON-094 module is explicitly not compatible with older versions like the LAN Controller V2. It was developed for newer controllers such as Version 3, ensuring optimal Network performance.
